    How exactly would we get food if we did that?

      community alliances. food stamps. being resourceful.

      i think we’ve covered how a revolution would work prior to this. surely i’m not the first person to mention community alliances.

      you can work towards grinding your life away without meaning or you can work towards something that gives your life meaning. it’s work either way.

        I’m pretty sure relying on food stamps and soup kitchens is not a revolution.

        And if you’ve ever had to survive that way, you’d know it’s fucking horrible. Especially if you have kids.

        So I guess keep wishing because people don’t want to have to resort to that.

          Yea I agree with squid that we should not consider the soup kitchen the place of liberation.

          I would say as a guy who has dressed in colorful formal attire when I worked in corporate jobs that you don’t get punished. This meme is like when conservatives say “you can’t say anything anymore”. Obviously you can, and frankly most of the backlash is made up.

          Especially if you have kids.

          Exactly, I’m fine with being on edge, but its not right to force that on kids if you can help it.

            I’m sorry, but you’re not going to insult people into your revolution.

            You’re also going to have a very hard time convincing everyone to significantly lower their standard of living because they have no money.

                A few comments ago:

                i wish all of you people would stop pandering to dumb shit and just tell the world to fuck off.

                Now:

                don’t care. never did. never will.

                So which is it?
